Spatial analysis of sustainable land use development coastal areasin batang regency

Coastal areas and small islands are ideal areas in carrying out development planning in Indonesia. According to Bramati (2014), coastal areas attract a variety of interests and activities in limited space and for some unique and more complex reasons than inland areas. The coastal areas and small islands are not only exploited for their natural resources but also become the development areas for several development activities such as transportation and ports, industries, fisheries, tourism and settlements (Bengen, 2010). The law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 1 of 2014 states that the Management of Coastal Zone and Small Islands is a coordination of planning, utilization, supervision and control of coastal resources and small islands conducted by the Government and Local Government, between sectors, between ecosystems land and sea, and between science and management to improve people’s welfare.According to Dahuri (2003), an estimated 60% of the total population in Indonesia live in coastal areas. It is not surprising that coastal areas are the most populous areas inhabited by humans with a variety of development activities. BatangRegency is one of the regencies in the northern coastal area of Java Island that has a tendency to be developed as an integrated and sustainable coastal management area. With a coastline length of about 38.75 Km stretches from east to west, there are many natural resources with the varying geographical conditions of Batang Regency such as coastal areas, lowland and highlands.Thefuture development of Batang Regency needs the optimization of coastal area management. The direction of development in BatangRegencyutilizes the coastal space that has been issued in the Regional Regulation no. 07 of 2011 on Spatial Plan of Batang Regency Year 2011-2031. For the direction of coastal area management planning, Regulation of Regent No. 16 of 2011 has been issued on the strategic plan of Coastal Area of Batang Regency in 2011-2030. Management of land use in the coastal areas can be performed by utilizing spatial data both raster data and vector data. According to Burrough (1986), Geographic Information System (GIS) is an integrated information systembecause the managed data is spatial data.The nonoptimalmanagement of coastal areas inBatang Regency has disrupted the continuous management. Thissituation may arise due to various problems such as (1) Spatial use conflicts and (2) Unorganized coastal areas planning. According to Riza (2016), the development of coastal areas inBatangRegency is still not optimal due to the lack of support regardinggood policies and activities in the management of coastal areas. In addition to environmental factors, the reduction of mangrove plants along the coastal areas inBatangRegency sparks an impact that is the incidence of a very high abrasion increase. Approximately, 4.2 ha of the land is susceptible to sea level rise in BatangSub-district, KandemanSub-district, and Subah Sub-district (Kusumawardani, 2013). This study aims to examine the direction of land use development in coastal areas of Batang Regency by utilizingspatial analysis.
